great stuff, drewp!
@Rick4070 we also have one of the smaller programmable Paragon units. That's how the Mrs. started out after deciding not wanting to run over to Bullseye in SE PDX every time she wanted to fuse something. But it was good for her to do so starting out as she learned a LOT from the folks there on firing schedules.
The big Skutt has an issue with the programmer. For now she is manually setting the firing schedule because the Skutt programmer keeps erroring out saying the rise event time is too long even though she is using one of the pre-programmed schedules.
Odd about the error, especially when using a pre-programed cycle.....
I had a similar thing happen using an on-line suggested cycle for doing flower pot melts, (when you take a bunch of shards of glass, put them into a flower pot, put some spacers under it, and heat it up enough that the glass melts and pours out the bottom of the pot, forming a disc of melted glass. it did NOT like the schedule, so I had to keep tweaking it until it worked.
Most of the kiln companies are good to work with, I have had to replace one relay in Our Paragon, and with the on-line and printed tutorial, it was easy.
